Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A modern processor has an L1 cache hit rate of 95%. If the miss penalty for main memory access is 100 ns, what is the Average Memory Access Time (AMAT) if the L1 access time is 1 ns?

💡 Hint: Use the formula AMAT = (Hit Rate * Hit Time) + (Miss Rate * Miss Penalty).

Question 2

Discuss the implications of having a larger L3 cache in a multi-core system. Analyze both benefits and potential drawbacks.

💡 Hint: Think about the trade-offs in cache size versus speed and efficiency.
